Mike McDaniel believes the Miami Dolphins can learn from Sunday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Dolphins entered the game with the league's best offense, far and away, but managed just 17 points and one offensive touchdown in the road loss.

"You can learn everything," McDaniel said of playing in a difficult environment and losing.

"It was a very important thing. I kind of knew that going into the game that it was going to be that type of atmosphere and I think that's very important for our team being on the younger side to experience. Those are critical. You have to feel what it's like to play such a good team on the road. Your margin for error is so small, and it's an important building block along your progression for the season, you know. If you're going to lose games, you want it to be against a really good team, and you want it to hurt. The collection of coaches and players in the locker room right now are hurting because they feel like they left some plays on the field for sure. You know, losses, if approached the right way, if you're not pointing fingers and you're looking internally, can be a good thing too. So that's what we'll be determined to make this moving forward, starting with tomorrow."
